of body, i.e., from anal fin backward, with from 6 to 8 dark cross-bars; a 

 dark line from last anal ray to base of caudal; a dark area at base of 

 anterior rays of anal, not extending on fin; posterior rays of anal with a 

 dusky spot near middle and another at tips; dorsal with a dusky spot 

 on posterior one-fourth near base of rays. Color of male very similar, 

 but the cross-bars less distinct, and a jet black spot about the size of the

no dark spot at base of anterior rays of anal. Specimens from Taboga 

 Island paler with the cross-bars less distinct in both sexes. 



Of this species we have nimierous specimens from both slopes of 

 Panama, but none from the Rio Tuyra Basin. The largest female is 

 45 and the largest male 20 mm. in length. 



Habitat: Both slopes of Panama, and Taboga Island. 



58. Priapichthys tridentiger cana (Meek & Hildebrand). 

 Gamhusia cana Meek & Hildebrand, Field. Mus. Nat. Hist. Pub., 



Zool. Ser., X, 1913, 87 (Rio Satiganti, Cana, Panama). 



Head 3.8 to 4.25; depth 3.2 to 4.35; D. 7 or 8; A. 10; scales 29 to 31. 



This variety agrees with P. tridentiger in all respects, except in color. 

 In the female there are no dark cross-bars on posterior part of body. 

 In the male the characteristic dark spot of P. tridentiger on side above 

 the base of anal is present, but the cross-bars are less distinct. 



This form is represented by 68 specimens from the Rio Satiganti, 

 one of the upper tributaries of the Rio Tuyra. The largest female is 40 

 and the largest male 23 mm. in length.
